2013 FAs and Possible Cap Casualties

hey guys, I didnt even know Draft countdown had this list.Its pretty thorough
which is why I decide to put it in a thread of its own.
take a look and build your FA signings and list our keepers and losers...

players NOT eligible due to contracts
seymour
branch
we are stuck with both of them guys per Rotoworlds contract page.

players we should cut:
Breisel-5 year 20 million..no Guarenteed money lsited
On a side note I dont "see" all the contract money that was implied in the other "cap space " thread.
They list 60 contracts and 31 are FA this offseason.
another 12 or so are nearing the end of their deals and have paid most of the guarenteed money.
Even cutting Mcfadden or Palmer wouldnt cost us that much, but I am advocating for neither to be let go.

Thats 52 million and 27 players under contract
with 9 FA on our team that (I feel) need to be signed
thats 36 out of 53 slots which means we need 17 players 9 of whom would be starters under my plan...
that also IMO means we need two -three starters out of the 2013 draft so we can all our 9 home grown FAs and 6 high dollar other team FAs.
My six positions are:
Center
MLB
CB
OG
WR
TE
so my Draft is:
DE
DT
Ol
CB
s
lb

Once I got started, I didnt want to do a halfass job(lol)
Ill pick my actual names for FA and Draft in a day or so.

LOL, ok come on you guys, I PMed Bigguy cryin that I spent two hours putting together these numbers for you and he moved it to the offseason thread!
Maybe i guess he knows what hes doin....where is widow with that Beuhler....Beuhler...bit?

IMO keep Wheeler, Myers, and Goodson. Thats it and only if they comeback at a reasonable price. None of them are stars and should not get paid like it. This organization still has a long way to go. This off season will be the first step forward after taking several steps backwards this last one. Painful but necessary.

Still giving McFadden a pass, eh Steph? Still haven't been burned enough times?

His career here is done.

how many times do I have to be right before you accept it?
6 million is not a lot for a starting running back.the idea that we can plug and play a new one year after year just because Shanny did it in a 5 or 6 year window isnt supported by factual history.
Ask GB how that rushing game has been going.
ask the Cowboys, or the Pats.
You need skilled, proven backs.No one is going to offer anything of value for a back in the last year of a big contravt and cutting him for nothing isntr going to happen.
He is a Raider until his contract ends. bank on it...

I am going to say test the market with him, if we don't get something good, real good don't sell. If we do get a 1st, 2nd, 3rd, or a combination of picks we move Reese to starter and or sign someone else.
